DAILY DOSE:
Cosmic Fractals
It is a wondrous feature of the cosmos, how ideas repeat themselves at vastly different scales:
As planets and stars move in grand systems about their orbits, so the electrons move about a nucleus.
So too the same pattern is found within the microcosm of the human being—
and at every scale of every thing, from every frame of reference.
At each level there is a wholeness and a oneness, and yet each breaks
 down into yet more minute particles creating yet another realm of wholeness—
and we have yet to find its end.
A perfect harmony of oneness from which comes an infinitude of beings.
 The artist has left His signature within His masterpiece,
and His imprint within each and every detail. Cosmic Fractals

DAILY DOSE:
The Ark
There is a raging storm at sea. There are hellish waves that crash and pound at the shore, carrying all away, leaving desolation behind.
The sea is the world of making a living. The waves are the stress and anxiety of indecision, not knowing which way to turn, on what to rely. Up and down, hot and cold -- constantly churning back and forth.
Do as Noah did and build an ark. "An ark" in Hebrew is taiva -- which means also "a word." Your ark shall be the words of meditation and of prayer. Enter into your ark, and let the waters lift you up, rather than drown you with everything else.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman

Growing Each Day:
Rabbi Abraham Twerski
God said to Noah, "Enter ... into the ark" (Genesis 7:1).
The Hebrew word for ark, teivah, has two meanings: it can mean "an ark," and it can also mean "a word." In the above verse, the latter meaning tells us that God instructed Noah to "enter into the word." Rabbi Moshe of Kobrin expounded on this theme, explaining that when we pray, we should "enter into the words," i.e. totally immerse ourselves into each word of prayer, as though the word is encompassing us.
A listener once asked him: "How can a big human being possibly enter into a little word?" Rabbi Moshe answered, People who consider themselves bigger than the word are not the kind of person we are talking about."
The Talmud states that people's prayers are not accepted unless they efface themselves before God (Sotah 5a). God abhors those who are egotistical, and therefore the prayers of a vain person are not likely to be received favorably.
People preoccupied with their egos remain external to their prayers. The truly humble person feels small enough to "enter" even the tiniest word.
Today I shall ...
.. try to throw myself entirely into my prayers by setting aside those thoughts and feelings that would inflate my ego.

Where Lives the Torah- Where is the Torah?
Does it reside in the heavens with the angels?
Or in a parchment scroll in the ark of the synagogue?
 Or with the rabbis and scholars?
It lives in the heart of each person who learns it,
 in the voice of the one who discusses it
 and in the life of the one who lives it.
That heart, that voice, that life --that, too, is G-d’s word.
